Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you dealing with a clogged drain in your Lincolnshire home? Before calling a plumber, try using a plunger to wrangle the issue. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we're here to help you tackle common drainage problems with ease. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to use a plunger to unblock a drain.

There are two types of plungers: toilet plungers and sink plungers. Toilet plungers have a longer handle and a larger cup, making them ideal for unclogging toilets. Sink plungers, on the other hand, have a shorter handle and a smaller cup, making them perfect for sinks and other smaller drains.

Before using a plunger, make sure the area around the drain is clear of any debris or water. If the water level is high, use a bucket to scoop out some of the water to prevent spills. This will also give you a better chance of creating a good seal with the plunger.

1. Place the plunger over the clogged drain, making sure the cup is centered and the handle is straight.
2. Slowly push the plunger down, creating a vacuum seal. You may feel some resistance, but this is normal.
3. Hold the plunger in place for a few seconds, then lift it up quickly. Repeat this process several times.
4. If the blockage is severe, you may need to use a bit more force. However, be careful not to push too hard, as this can damage the pipes.

• Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the drain to create a good seal.
• Use hot water to help loosen the blockage before plunging.
• If the plunger doesn't work, try using a drain snake or plumber's auger to help break up the clog.
• If the blockage persists, it may be time to call a professional plumber to help you diagnose and fix the issue.
